Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, eh? Lately, these places are haunts of American tourists more than they are the places where great works of art are created, but Cafe Le Deux Magots, Brasserie Lipp and La Coupole will do the trick if you\u2019re on a mission to dine somewhere iconic while visiting the City of Lights.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The splurges<\/strong><br \/>\nYou\u2019ve come to Paris to give your credit card a workout, have you? You\u2019re in luck; the city is rightfully esteemed as one of the great culinary capitals of the world, and there are plenty of Michelin-starred places where you can enjoy your own Tour de Gastronomy. Check out Passage 53, La Tour d\u2019Argent, Epicure, Le Cinq and David Toutain (to name a few) if you\u2019re seeking a culinary experience that will blow your mind and (perhaps) your bank account.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The insiders<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you\u2019re the kind of traveler who doesn\u2019t want to see any fanny packs or fold-out maps as you slather brie on your baguette, there are plenty of Parisian haunts where the sound of English is a rarity. Check out beloved bakery Vandermeersch, butcher shop and \u201cmeatery\u201d Boucherie des Provinces, culinary school Ecole Ferrandi and local legend Chez Ramona.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_35810\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-35810\" class=\"size-full wp-image-35810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Versailles-Palace-France.600.jpg\" alt=\"Versailles\" width=\"600\" height=\"401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Versailles-Palace-France.600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Versailles-Palace-France.600-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Versailles-Palace-France.600-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-35810\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Versailles<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>SIGHTSEEING <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The greatest hits<\/strong><br \/>\nYou\u2019re only in Paris once and want to hit all the icons? We won\u2019t blame you for wanting to check out the Eiffel Tower. Hint: Skip the lines by booking a guided tour well in advance or reduce your wait time\u2014and burn some calories\u2014by climbing the stairs. Naturally, you\u2019ll want to see the dizzying array of impressionist paintings and more at the Musee d\u2019Orsay or Mona Lisa\u2019s wicked smile at the Musee duLouvre. And, of course, dip into and snap a pic of Notre Dame.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The detours<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you\u2019ve got enough time in the city to explore beyond the most on-the-beaten-path sights, Paris will reward you aplenty. See the literal bones of the city by exploring the Paris Catacombs, which includes 180 miles of tunnels where the skeletal remains of more than six million Parisians reside. Become a culinary wizard by taking a cooking class with La Cuisine Paris (in English) and be sure to\u00a0take the half hour train ride to the Palace of Versailles, the center of political power in France during the reign of Louis XIV and onward until the French Revolution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Tour<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you\u2019re looking for tourism inspired by the race itself, consider seeing Paris via bicycle. Fat Tire Tours leads a variety of excursions, including both day and night rides, plus tours outside the city including an excursion of Monet\u2019s Gardens and an outing to Versailles. Meanwhile, the final pathof the Tour de France includes a majestic ride along the Seine and the finish line at the Champs-Elysees. To see the city as the riders will, take a boat tour along the Seine. Numerous companies offer both day and night tours including some that start and end at the Eiffel Tower. Also, check out the Arc de Triomphe at the western end of the Champs-Elysees.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_35804\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-35804\" class=\"size-full wp-image-35804\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Tour-de-France-Caravan.600.jpg\" alt=\"Tour de France Caravan\" width=\"600\" height=\"374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Tour-de-France-Caravan.600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Tour-de-France-Caravan.600-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Tour-de-France-Caravan.600-400x249.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-35804\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tour de France Caravan<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>INSIDER RACE TIPS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Experience the Caravan.<\/strong> Arrive about two hours early for the Caravan, a pre-race parade featuring 154 vehicles and floats representing 34 of the race&#8217;s brand sponsors. People line up early for a chance to grabsome of the 14 million trinkets thrown to the crowd\u2014think anything from T-shirts and hats to cookies and sausage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Get close to the riders.<\/strong> While the most dramatic action is at the finish line, riders start gathering at the start line about an hour before race time, so you&#8217;ll have a better chance of interacting with them there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Find a spot along the Champs-Elysees.<\/strong> Watching the racers zoom toward the finish line along the iconic stretch on\u00a0the Champs-Elysees is one of the most exhilarating sights to behold\u2014so long as you don&#8217;t mind crowds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t find a spot along the Champs-Elysees.<\/strong> If you do mind crowds, secure yourself a better vantage point by positioning yourself along the Seine, within the Tulieries Garden, or in a race-facing hotel room along the route.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pack a bag.<\/strong> If you\u2019re watching the race roadside outside of the city, arrive several hours in advance and bring lots ofwater and plenty of snacks\u2014you won&#8217;t find many vendors and you&#8217;ll be glad to have something extra to share with the new friends you&#8217;ll make while waiting hours for the race to reach your place along the route.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Understand the jerseys.<\/strong> You\u2019ll see a flurry of brightly colored jerseys worn by riders; created by Le Coq sport, they&#8217;re almost as iconic as the race itself. Each jersey holds its own significance: The reigning champion in each category in each stage of the race wears a colored jersey associated with that prize, so the shirts are swapped often. Be on the lookout for jerseys in yellow, green, polka dot and white, which are worn by the overall time leader, the cyclist with the highest number of sprint points, the \u201cKing of the Mountain\u201d and young riders, respectively.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Learn a little French.<\/strong> While you&#8217;re waiting hours to catch a fleeting glimpse of the riders speeding by, you&#8217;ll want to participate in the highly sociable, festive vibe.Fans mingle over picnics, chat stats and revel in anticipation during this time; knowing a little French will go a long way.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/psi?force=rewards\/&amp;GCID=78142\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-34233\"
